  Well, for example for a real IM (Instant Messaging) platform like
WhatsApp the members of a group can see the number of members and who
they are. The creator/admin of the group can add and delete members and
members can choose to exit the group. So at any time, a member can see
the current number of members and who they are. I do not know if members
get notified if a member is deleted or exits or a member is added. I
assume they get notified, but I don't know.

  Bottom line: For real IM platforms, the OP's (Tim Slattery) problem
(of not being able to delete a member) does not exist.
